DIY Dance Costume (Advanced)

Posted by Rhinestones Unlimited on Nov 4th 2019

From your most advanced dancer, to your daughter who you want to shine in the spotlight with her new dance solo, to the 3rd place finalist on World of Dance - sometimes you just want the best! Check out this tutorial for this stunning costume, shown here on 2019 World of Dance finalist Ava Wagner. Ava and her sister Ellie stunned the viewing audience and judges Derek Hough, Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo with their talent, passion, synchronicity, and sisterly connection. As proud sponsors of this amazing duo we had to involve Christine Murphy, master crystal artist, in the making of this costume. Because, when ONLY THE BEST WILL DO, you choose Swarovski Crystals and Christine Murphy!

If anyone knows how to turn a simple leotard into a work of art, it's Christine Murphy. Here is an example where she took Ilogear's Gaby Leotard in a custom plum color and added some of our DIY embroidered appliques, also in plum. She then adorned it with a plethora of Swarovski crystals in six different colors and in eight different sizes and an amethyst sew on shape as well. As you can see, the result is simply breathtaking.
